Joined July 2019
Seaweed farms are expanding globally & offer a potentially sustainable food source 🍜👩🌾 But what are the environmental impacts? My PhD assesses how UK farms impact biodiversity & may provide new 🏡 to fish & invert species 🦀🐟 #HSEAway23 #tweetyourthesis @ExeterMarine

Super stoked my 1st paper as lead author is out OA! 🥳 Depth reduces yield of farmed sugar kelp, but increased yield of non target macroalgae which could be an opportunity for farmers 🌱💙

An mussel farm off the Devon coast could be changing the seabed, a study suggests.

🚨🚨 in our new study in @FunEcology we show that pre-exposure to realistic marine heatwaves can influence CTmax values in critical foundation species, but responses vary hugely between taxa. Implications for predicting resilience to extreme temps: https://t.co/4rtBm5oND2

Anyone in the UK this week? Head to the coast to take part in the annual #bigseaweedsearch There are great resources to help you ID what you find and you’ll contribute valuable data to this long running citizen science project @mcsuk @NHM_London @Juliet_seaweeds @CapturingRCoast
Big Seaweed Search Week starts today and we're kicking things off with some of our favourite facts. The Big Seaweed Search is a really accessible and fun way to get involved with Citizen Science, so why not give it a try? 👉 https://t.co/sv4GYmDy5k

Our new study published today in @NatureComms examined links between marine heatwaves (MHWs) and the health of foundation species (corals, kelps, seagrass) across the global coastal ocean https://t.co/gHSc6RTzAZ (1/n)

So grateful to the most wonderful team at the MBA for making my PhD so fun! These past 4.5 years have flown but I've made so many lifelong friends & memories. Big thanks to my supervisors @DanSmale1 Ross, Charles & Ian for amazing support! Look how next level this cake is 😮🤯
Congrats to the amazing @SeaweedSoph who passed her PhD viva with flying colours yesterday. She has produced an incredible amount of high-quality field research on the biodiversity benefits/impacts of kelp farming - much needed to inform policy/management going forward. 🌊🌱🐟🦀
